Referrals from professionals

We accept referrals from GPs and other professionals for individuals whose main presenting issue is grief. We're able to accept referrals based upon the following criteria: any adult 18 or over who has experienced a significant bereavement of someone who was a patient of St Wilfrid's Hospice, which is impacting upon their ability to manage day-to-day living, and who living in the catchment area of St Wilfrid’s Hospice. Please note, St Wilfrid’s Hospice is unable to provide crisis bereavement support or home visits. We are also unable to support patients who are already receiving psychological therapy from another service or who present a risk to others.
